Abstract: Motivation is found in all behaviors of the human psyche. There is no human action or inaction that is not motivated. Regarding the relationship between motivation and performance, motivation stimulates new experiences of internalizing values. There are some authors (Brophy, 2004) who argue that academic motivation can be improved through school interventions. Teaching students learning strategies can increase academic motivation. Starting from these theoretical considerations, but also from educational practice that shows a slight decrease in interest in learning in middle school students, we were concerned with identifying certain ways to optimize motivation for learning. In this sense, we analyzed the impact of socio-educational goal planning behaviors on the level of academic motivation in middle school students. The research results confirm the role of goal planning activities in terms of optimizing learning motivation in high school students.
